Mahindra TUV500
Along with a sub-4m Mahindra
Bolero, Mahindra is also working on an extended version of the Mahindra TUV300.
With the increased length, the utility vehicle will be a true 7-seater with
added practicality.
Codenamed U108, the Mahindra
TUV500 (name unconfirmed) will be based on the same hydroformed ladder frame
platform as the TUV300, and feature the same boxy styling. It’s unclear if
Mahindra will introduce any distinctive elements to set it apart from its sub-4m
sibling.
Under the hood, the TUV500
is likely to be powered by the mHawk diesel engine family; Mahindra could
choose the 2.2L/1.99L engine which powers the Mahindra Scorpio and XUV500.
Transmission options would include a manual or an AMT.
Some of the features one can
expect are alloy wheels, static bending headlights, a 2-DIN music system with
Bluetooth, USB, AUX-in and the Mahindra BlueSense App, reverse parking sensors,
steering mounted audio controls, electrically-adjustable wing mirrors, keyless
entry and a rear wiper/washer.
